Are we starting a story???Are we playing our own parts???

Then a teacher.

And then a judge.

He is now on the road to destroying the entire magical community.

I think that if there are bad people, we should indicate so in our bios, JigSaw, and maybe do the story in a different font so that it doesn't get confusing... Just an idea.


Setting:
A heavily forested area with a small footpath running through it. Noon. You can add whatever you want to this, it's just the basic setting for the beginning.

Also, should everyone already be in a group, or should we meet along the way?

Dynamo sat lazily in a tree, constantly watching the road. He was waiting for someone to come along and fall into the trap hole he made. There was nothing else better for him to do anyways.

Sorry for being a bit late.
Good or bad depends how it goes,
Name: Libby
Age:6
Height:4"1
Gender:Female
Race:Human
Hair and eyes: Large round blue eyes, wavy short blond hair
Powers: can talk to animals, can shape shift but only into young animals, can climb better than a monkey.
Personality: Brilliant for one so young.Can remember back to when she was one. Libby knows she is adorable and uses it to her advantage, very manipulative. Unless she has reason to she maintains an innocent persona. Has little to no sense of good or bad so only does what is good for herself. As mature as a fellow child her age but feels superior to them. Loves games.

bio: For awhile she was used by a thief who might have been her father- she never knew. He was kind to her until he got sent to prison when she was 3. She was sent to a orphanage, then a magic school for older students when she was 4 and it was found how smart she was and her shape shifting ability. Libby stayed at the school a year during which she was coddled and baby talked to by the older students. While Libby liked being coddled she hated baby talk and left. For the last year she has been wondering around manipulating people until she can figure out what to do, or grow up.

Good. but, ummm, Griffinkeeper, 'Magical Student' isn't a race... Sorry to be a wet blanket...
*****

Dynamo heard a crash coming from the direction of his trap...
Excellent , he thought.

One could argue that magic students aren't really human.

Ah well, I'll change that then.
******************************

Dynamo walked up to the trap. He smiled. What sort of animal or person could await him in the trap? Perhaps some lusty barmaiden? Maybe a beautiful buck? He approached the edge and looked down.

There was nothing in the trap, except for a heavy rock.

That's odd, was all he had time to think before the stone hit him in the back of the head. Dynamo fell into the trap, unconcious.

Maxwell Silver Hammer smiled.

Another rotten thief down. Now, to bury the evidence! He grabbed Dynamo's shovel and began to bury Dynamo alive.

He had only shoveled a couple of times, when he heard the sound of hooves. A quick look confirmed it was a knight. Now, Maxwell changed strategies. He threw the shovel into the pit with Dynamo and waved the knight down.

"STOP!"

"What's going on here?"

"A highway robber my lord! I just came across him while he was digging!" he said, pointing at the dirt covered Dynamo. The knight looked down and laughed.
"Caught napping? Get my canteen, we'll wake him up." Maxwell went to the horse, grabbing the canteen. The knight was still looking down at Dynamo. Sneaking up behind the knight, he hit him in the back of the head with the canteen, sending him on top of Dynamo.

Armor, while strong, has two disadvantages. The first is that it is awkward, the second is that it is heavy. When one falls face first down a hole, there is no protection.

Maxwell capitalized now. Grabbing the knight's longsword, he proceeded to stab the knight, killing him. He threw the sword down into the pit. Now, when a passerby came, they would think that the knight was killed by Dynamo. After all, what else could they think? That some thief had come by and done the deed while Dynamo was in the hole sleeping? How well would this theory hold up if the horse was still there, with all the riches intact?

Maxwell disappeared into the forest, singing.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
came down upon his head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that he was dead!*

*Song is from The Beatles "Maxwell Silver Hammer".*

Dynamo woke up with a grunt. "Ugh. What happened just now?" He tried to get up but something was on top of him weighed him down. He looked and saw the body of the knight. Dynamo yelped in surprise. He quickly got out from under him and zapped him with his thunder magic. After that he took a closer look at the body. "Oh, he's already dead." He went to the wall of the pit and began to climb up. "Oh well, it's not my problem."

When Dynamo got out of the hole the first thing he saw was the knight's horse. He saw that the bags mounted on the horse were full. With enthusiasm, Dynamo shouted, "Alright! This is my lucky day!" he ran to the horse and grabbed all the riches it carried. He looked at the pit where the dead knight was. "Well, it's not like he's going to be needing this stuff."

After he packed all the riches he began to leave the area. "I only made that hole to trap someone for fun. I didn't think it would actually make me rich!" He stopped and turned back to the hole. "Wait. If anyone comes by and see this guy... I'd better do something about this." He walked over to the hole and kneeled down. He pulled out a piece of paper and a writing utensil and began to write on the paper. He dropped the note into the hole so it would land on the dead knight with the words facing up. With that, Dynamo walked down the road towards town to see if he can barter his findings to the local merchants.

The note that was on the bloody, and now charred Knight's body read:

"I'm only sleeping. Please don't wake me up."
